WeldTube Special Part 3 – Highlights From WeldTube’s Miller HQ Visit

Stay up to date on what’s happening in pipe field welding. Both educational and entertaining – hear exciting dialogues and various perspectives that are full of wide ranging and yet focused conversations from elite professionals in the pipe welding industry.

Miller makes a lot of other great machines other than ones for  a semi auto process. Would be great for this podcast to touch on GTAW,SMAW more. I understand this is to push RMD but let’s talk about everything else involved in pipe welding.

Let’s talk about more.

Love the episodes so far - great info , good conversations  and insights from experts in the field of pipe welding. I can’t wait to hear more of the experiences from other experts in the field and shop.

Great info
